Company Actions
After the initial blocking measures, the operator created mirror sites to continue attracting Swedish users. It used the following tactics:
- New domains without listed ownership;
- Promotional campaigns via affiliates and streamers on Twitch;
- Automatic localization of the website to Swedish language and region.
Regulator’s Response
Spelinspektionen issued warnings in July and August. The company partially restricted access but soon launched new websites again. As a result, an official ban was imposed.
| Date | Action |
|---|---|
| July 2025 | Warning from Spelinspektionen |
| August 2025 | Partial access restriction |
| September 2025 | Full operational ban |
License and Legal Status
Altacore N.V. operates under a Curaçao license OGL/2023/109/0075 but does not hold a national license in Sweden. The ban takes effect immediately.
Conclusion
Spelinspektionen continues to monitor and act against unlicensed platforms. The case of Altacore N.V. shows that attempts to bypass restrictions ultimately lead to full bans and domain blocking.
